CITY OF KENAI
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. PZ2026-01
A RESOLUTION GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO DEVELOP AND OPERATE A
SMALL AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR BUSINESS AT 1606 SALMO CIRCLE IN THE SUBURBAN
RESIDENTIAL (RS) ZONING DISTRICT.
APPLICANT: TDC Garage LLC – Troy Consiel
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 1606 Salmo Circle
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Redoubt Terrace Subdivision, Lot 23, Block 3
KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH PARCEL NUMBER: 04713013
WHEREAS, a complete application meeting the requirements of Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150
was submitted to the City on January 5, 2026; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant has demonstrated that the prerequisites of a Conditional Use Permit
have been met pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.150; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a duly advertised
public hearing on December 10, 2025, following requirements outlined in Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.280 for public hearings and notifications.
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission finds:
1.KMC 14.20.150(d)(1) The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the
purposes and intent of the zoning district;
Findings: The RS Zone is intended to provide for medium density residential
development in areas which will be provided with common utility systems.
The proposed automotive repair business would not necessarily violate the character of
the neighborhood as it would provide a practical amenity to residents. Work will strictly be
done indoors, between the hours of 10am and 5pm to limit the impact to traffic during the
busier hours of the day. The lot will be kept clean and tidy with no junk vehicles left on the
lot and no vehicles parked in the street. The only signage indicating a business will be a
decal on the garage door and applicant states the exterior will continue to appear as their
regular family home.
Staff finds that the proposed use, as presented by the applicant, would not violate the
intent of the RS zoning district.

Resolution No. PZ2026-01
Page 2 of 4
2. KMC 14.20.150(d)(2) The economic and noneconomic value of the adjoining property and
neighborhood will not be significantly impaired;
Findings: The proposed automotive repair business should not impair the economic and
noneconomic value of the adjacent properties and neighborhood as, per the applicant, it
is designed to minimize disruption, remain out of site, and the property will continue to
serve first and foremost as the family home.
The applicant states that there will be a limit to the number of vehicles on the property,
which will be enforceable by City Staff as a condition of the permit. The only signage will
be a 4” by 20” decal on the garage door. All work will be completed inside of the garage
reducing noise pollution and efficiently keeping the exterior aesthetic as residential.
Staff finds the proposed use, as presented, would not impair the economic and
noneconomic value of adjacent properties and neighborhood.
3. KMC 14.20.150(d)(3) The proposed use is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan;
Findings: The Land Use Plan, from the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, identifies the subject
property with the Suburban Residential (RS) land use classification. The RS Land Use
Classification is defined in the Comprehensive Plan:
Suburban Residential is intended for single-family and multi-family residential uses that
are urban or suburban in character. The area will typically be developed at a higher
density; lots are typically smaller; and, public water and sewer services are required or
planned. Some developments may be required to construct streets to a paved standard
and larger subdivisions may be required to provide sidewalks and public areas. Parks
and open space land uses may be considered appropriate.
The surrounding uses consist of single-family residences. All lots to the North, East,
South, and West are zoned as Suburban residential.
As stated by the applicant in the application, the proposed use of the property is and will
remain consistent and in harmony with Economic Development goals in the 2016
Comprehensive Plan.
In Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 6, “Goals, Objectives, and
Implementation”, the following goal and objectives are met from the proposed use.
Goal 2 – Provide economic development to support the fiscal health of Kenai.
Objective ED-1
Promote projects that create workforce development opportunities.
Objective ED-2
Implement business-friendly regulations, taxation and incentives to create a stable,
positive climate for private investment.

Resolution No. PZ2026-01
Page 3 of 4
4. KMC 14.20.150(d)(4) Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed
use;
Findings: The property already has established facilities on site to include City water and
septic servicing the primary structure, electricity, heating, and access to a paved, City-
maintained, road.
5. KMC 14.150(d)(5) The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or
welfare;
Findings: The applicant states that all mechanical work will be performed inside the
garage, which has a concrete foundation ensuring a solid barrier between the earth and
the work being done. All fluids will be collected, properly stored, and disposed of using a
professional service skilled in hazardous disposal. With the applicant, his family, and
their pets being housed on site, safety will always be prioritized.
Vehicles being test driven will access the property via a pre-determined route of Fathom
Drive to South Forest Drive and will stick to arterial roads to avoid additional traffic flow
on residential streets. All traffic laws will be obeyed and neighborhood safety prioritized.
With these standards and planned protocols in place, it is not anticipated that the
conditional use will be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
6. KMC 14.150(d)(6) Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the Commission
to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions should be met by the applicant. These may
include, but are not limited to, measures relative to access, screening, site development,
building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects related to the proposed
use.
Findings: Applicant states that all work will be limited to daytime hours, specifically 10am
to 5pm, to not disrupt the morning and evening routine of the neighborhood. This will help
control any additional flow of traffic that could impede buses, children waiting at bus stops,
and neighbors leaving or arriving home from work. All vehicles will be parked on the
applicant’s property, ensuring no disruption to the city-maintained road itself with a
maximum limit of 4 customer vehicles being allowed on the property at a time. Signage
will not exceed one 4” by 20” decal on the garage door. All fluids will be properly contained,
stored, and disposed of in accordance with City, State, and Federal safety standards.
Applicant requests a maximum timeline, for conditional use permit, of three (3) years to
be allowed for him to obtain a small business loan and expand business in a commercial
location.
Staff finds that allowing a small automotive repair business, with the adherence of
conditions set forth by the applicant, City, and Commission, will not cause any adverse
impacts on the surrounding properties.

ANALYSIS
Pursuant to KMC 14.20.150(a), the intent of a conditional use permit is to allow some uses that
may be compatible with the designated principal uses in specific zoning districts provided certain
conditions are met. Prior to granting a conditional use permit, the Commission shall determine
that the identified criteria as outlined in KMC 14.20.150(e) Conditional Use Permits Review
Criteria are met.
Criteria 1: The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes and
intent of the zoning district.
Findings: The RS Zone is intended to provide for medium density residential
development in areas which will be provided with common utility systems.
The proposed automotive repair business would not necessarily violate the character of
the neighborhood as it would provide a practical amenity to residents. Work will strictly be
done indoors, between the hours of 10am and 5pm to limit the impact to traffic during the
busier hours of the day. The lot will be kept clean and tidy with no junk vehicles left on the
lot and no vehicles parked in the street. The only signage indicating a business will be a
decal on the garage door and applicant states the exterior will continue to appear as their
regular family home.
Staff finds that the proposed use, as presented by the applicant, would not violate the
intent of the RS zoning district.
Criteria 2: The economic and noneconomic value of the adjoining property and
neighborhood will not be significantly impaired.
Findings: The proposed automotive repair business should not impair the economic and
noneconomic value of the adjacent properties and neighborhood as, per the applicant, it
is designed to minimize disruption, remain out of site, and the property will continue to
serve first and foremost as the family home.
The applicant states that there will be a limit to the number of vehicles on the property,
which will be enforceable by City Staff as a condition of the permit. The only signage will

and larger subdivisions may be required to provide sidewalks and public areas. Parks
and open space land uses may be considered appropriate.
The surrounding uses consist of single-family residences. All lots to the North, East,
South, and West are zoned as Suburban residential.
As stated in the application, the proposed use of the property is and will remain consistent
and in harmony with Economic Development goals in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan.
RELEVENT GOALS

Objective ED-1
Promote projects that create workforce development opportunities.
Objective ED-2
Implement business-friendly regulations, taxation and incentives to create a stable,
positive climate for private investment.
The applicant proposes that the permit will help create workforce development by
giving the chance for a small business to be started, providing an income opportunity
for the applicant and in future, potentially other individuals of the community as he
grows. In preparation for starting the proposed business, the applicant will be utilizing
other small businesses in the area promoting economic development in the City.
Criteria 4: Public services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use.
Findings: The property already has established facilities on site to include City water and
septic servicing the primary structure, electricity, heating, and access to a paved, City-
maintained, road.
Criteria 5: The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare.
Findings: The applicant states that all mechanical work will be performed inside the
garage, which has a concrete foundation ensuring a solid barrier between the earth and
the work being done. All fluids will be collected, properly stored, and disposed of using a
professional service skilled in hazardous disposal. With the applicant, his family, and their
pets being housed on site, safety will always be prioritized.
Vehicles being test driven will access the property via a pre-determined route of Fathom
Drive to South Forest Drive and will stick to arterial roads to avoid additional traffic flow on
residential streets. All traffic laws will be obeyed and neighborhood safety prioritized.

1. I am requesting a conditional use permit to operate a small, home based automotive
repair business from my single bay, attached garage (see photos 1 and 2). I would be
doing maintenance, diagnostics, and light mechanical work. I am only seeking a permit
to be able to build the 2 years of business revenue required to be able to get a business
loan and move to a bigger shop.
2. All work will be done strictly by appointment only and between the hours of 10am to
5pm to limit the impact to traffic and normal routine of the neighborhood. The lot will
be kept clean and tidy, there will be no “junk” vehicles left on the lot and the number of
additional vehicles on the lot will be strictly limited. No vehicles will be parked on the
street as there is adequate parking available on the property. By all outward
appearances, nothing will have changed as everything is contained in the garage. It will
continue to have the appearance of what it is, our family home.
3. We have done nothing but improve on our home since we first bought it (photo 4). This
is our home, our children’s home first and foremost. There will be a limit to customer
vehicles on our property which is something that is not currently a code with personal
vehicles. With it as a condition it becomes enforceable which will be a benefit for people
worried about cars accumulating. There will be no signs other than a 4”X20” sticker on
the man door (photo 5 mock up). This will help keep unnecessary traffic down by
making it so it is not likely someone would stumble upon it by accident. Appointments
will become a necessity to know where it is located. All work will also be completed in
Page 15
the garage reducing noise and unsightly vehicles on jackstands in the yard.
4. This conditional use permit aligns with goal 2 in the City’s Comprehensive Plan which is
Economic Development. This permit will eventually help create workforce development
by giving the chance for a small business to get started. It will also generate tax revenue
for the city. In preparing to start this process community services such as the small
business office were utilized.
5. Yes. The property has city water and sewer, electricity, heating, and internet, as well as
adequate storage space.
6. This conditional use will not be harmful to public safety because all mechanical work will
be performed inside the garage. All fluids will be collected, stored, and disposed of
properly and professionally by Republic Services. Contact has been made with them to
confirm that it could be done as well as gathering price quotes. We have young children
and four pets in our household so safety is always going to be a priority.
7. -Business hours will be 10-5 to avoid additional traffic during the early mornings
(especially in the winter months) that kids are waiting at bus stops.
-No vehicles will be parked on streets. They will all be parked on our property, on the
empty lot we own adjacent to our house (photo 5).
-There will be no more than 4 customer vehicles on the property in addition to our
personal ones.
-Signage would not exceed one 4”X20” sticker on the door.
-All fluids will be disposed of professionally.
-If approved we ask that a maximum timeline of 3 years be allowed to prevent this from
becoming a permanent option.

MEMORANDUM
TO:Vice Chair Earsley and Planning & Zoning Commission Members
FROM:Shellie Saner, City Clerk
DATE:December 15, 2025
SUBJECT: Tabled Item -Resolution PZ2025-34 - Recommending the Approval of a
Conditional Use Permit to Operate an Automotive Repair Business on the
Parcel Described as Lot 23, Block 3, Redoubt Terrace Subdivision, Located
at 1606 Salmo Circle, Within the Suburban Residential (RS) Zoning District.
During the December 10, 2025 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Resolution PZ2025-34
was tabled by the Commission. Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 14.05.050(b)(3) establishes that the
most current edition of Robert’s Rules of Order governs the Planning & Zoning Commission
meetings.
Robert’s Rules of Order provides that when an item is laid on the table, it may be taken from the
table only during the same meeting or at the next regular meeting, provided that the next meeting
occurs within the same session.
The sessions for the City of Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission conclude on December 31 of
each year. As a result, Resolution PZ2025-34 expired at the close of the session and has fallen
to the floor; therefore, it may not be taken from the table. The same matter; however, may be
reintroduced in a new session as a new question.
This principle also applies to a motion to postpone, which is the appropriate motion when the
intent is to defer consideration to a later meeting. Postponement does not extend beyond the
close of a session.
Each new session constitutes a new exercise of the Commission’s authority. Allowing unfinished
business to automatically carry over would improperly bind a subsequent session to a procedural
status or decision it did not adopt.
When consideration of an item is anticipated to occur during a meeting in a new session, the
appropriate course is to allow the item to expire with adjournment of the session. Commission
members may request that staff place the matter on a future agenda in the new session as a new
item.

Sent from my iPhone. Dear City of Kenai, planning and zoning. In regards to the permit for a auto repair shop in
the neighborhood.. I strongly oppose this ! The traffic is already ridiculous with the little streets with no sidewalks.
I think it’s absurd that it would even be considered. The last thing we need in the middle of our neighborhood is
more traffic speeding through ,, like the guy applying for the permit. Not to mention the environmental issues that
could arise, such as leaky fluids of any kind that kids or pets could come across. And what does that do for our
property values ? Thanks for considering my opinion. Sincerely Lisa 30 yr resident

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Matthew Pyhala. My wife, Sarah, and I live at 1600 Salmo Circle, in the cul de
sac where the Conditional Use Permit is being applied for. As nearby neighbors to the
property for the proposed automotive repair business, we would be affected more than others.
With this in mind, we have no reservation nor objection to the approval of said Conditional
Use Permit. We are confident that our neighbor would conduct business in a professional
manner that would not negatively impact the harmony of our neighborhood. We fully support
approving the Conditional Use Permit for an automotive repair business at 1606 Salmo Circle,
Kenai.
With Kind Regards,

Commissioner Woodard MOVED to approve Resolution PZ2025-34. Commissioner Krause SECONDED
the motion.
Director Buettner read into the record the staff report as included in the packet and attached to Resolution
PZ2025-34; and read the written comments received.
Vice Chair Earsley opened the floor for public comment.
Troy Consiel, applicant, addressed the Commission noting his professional experience in the automotive
field.
Staff clarified that an expiration date could be set on the CUP.
Vern Kornstad addressed the Commission in opposition to the CUP, noting traffic concerns due to the
small narrow streets; and the use was not compatible with a residential neighborhood.
Donald Erwin addressed the Commission in opposition to the CUP, noting concerns with enforcement by
the City; hours of operations being listed as daylight hours, and the number of daylight hours in the
summer; the potential increase of traffic; and he did not feel it was a compatible need or use of a
residential neighborhood.
Jan Kornstad addressed the Commission in opposition to the CUP, noting concerns with the impact to
the economic value of property in the area; the property was zone suburban residential not commercial;
the increased traffic to the neighborhood; and the use was not compatible with a residential
neighborhood.
Kiersten Consiel addressed the Commission in support of the CUP and addressing concerns that were
stated: there were not going to be cars everywhere; this was also their home; this was to get started and
would not be forever; there were not going to be large signs posted or a lot of people coming in; there is
one garage, which fits one car; and they also owned the property next door and have made improvements
making it a nicer place to live.
Kristine Schmidt addressed the Commission in opposition to the CUP, noting this was a commercial
business wanting to locate in a residential neighborhood; hours of operations listed as daylight hours is
to vague; the need for clear hours to address machinery noise; by appointment only could be multiple
appointments at the same time, a clear appointment schedule was needed; and the need for clear
requirement for no on street parking and what is allowed for signage.
There being no one else wishing to be heard, the public comment period was closed.
Commissioner Fikes spoke in opposition to the CUP, noting the type of operation in a condensed
neighborhood, within a cul-de-sac; restrictions for on street parking during certain time of the year due to
snow removal; the limited space for parking and potential of cars parking on the lawn; health and safety
standards were not addressed in regards to the automotive fluids compliance issues; business licensing
and bonding issues
Commissioner Woodard spoke in opposition to the CUP, noting increased noise levels; daylight hours
could be all day long in the summer; and parking concerns.
Commissioner Keaton stated concerns with the hour of operation; the impact on home values if it were
to become an eyesore; and stated general support for commercial business in a residential neighborhood
provided it melded into the neighborhood.
Clarification was provided by the applicant regarding the size of the garage and the use of the vacant lot
next door for parking.
There was discussion regarding the ability for the applicant to bring back a similar application in the future
if this was not approved and adding additional conditions.
